Adventures of Captain Camerelli and the Canadian Super-Hag

Today, I had a hankering for some fresh fruit and vegetables so I took the skytrain out to Metrotown and went to the Canadian Super Store - basically an overblown supermarket, that sells a whole bunch of stuff (think Coles mixed with Target or something)

Anyway, so im shopping in there for a while, and finish up buying what I need and get in the queue. The cashier proceeds to zap all my stuff as per usual.

I stick out my card to pay via eftpos and she hands me the doohicky and I swipe my card, it doesnt work. I swipe it again and then the following happens

Super-Hag behind the cashier says to me

"Read it.."

(Thinking to myself, I did read it, it said OPEN / OVERT.. it means nothing to me)

She proceeds to press some buttons on the cashier and I figure that means I can try to swipe my card again, and it doesn't work so Super-Hag says

"No, read it.." (Taking my card off me..) "Its the 21st century"

Usually mild mannered me just takes this normally, but this was a fairly insulting thing to cop from a She-Hag that works behind a counter at the Canadian Super Store, so I said

"There's no need to be rude about it."

She-Hag then swipes the card and it all works ok, then I am left with a pile of groceries sitting on the bench, and She-Hag has already starting serving the customer after me. So I say to her

"Um, excuse me, where can I get some bags from?"

She-Hag has conveniently not told me that you need to pay 4 cents per bag until this point, so I take 25 cents out of my wallet and she has started talking to someone else, so im holding out this coin to this cow behind the counter waiting for her to finish off her conversation. I put the coin down on the counter, loudly.

She-Hag notices that I am still there and then gives me my change and a couple of bags, then proceeds to ask the lady after me if she would like any bags.

She-Hag, if you are out there, fuck you.

The next time you serve a customer, assume that they are more intelligent and electronic savvy than you, especially if you are a 30 something idiot with wayyy too much make-up working as a check out chick at a place like Canadian Super Store.

I hope you get fired, you are an idiot, thanks for ruining my life.
